In January, 1535, in July, 1837, in July and September, 1841, be was returned unopposed again, his colleague being, from 1837, Colonel Rolleston, a Conservative like him self. By 1846, Lord Lincoln had changed his views on the subject of the corn laws, and bad decided to follow Sir Robert Peel in promoting their repeal. His lordship's father was furious. That a son of his Louee should presume to have a will of his own—" to do what he would with his own," in fact ! In the February of that year Lord Lincoln stood again for the division when appointed Secretary for Ireland. Mr Hildyard opposed him with the ducal interest, and the poll showed for Mr Hildyard 1,736, for Lord Lincoln 1,049. In the following month the earl stood for North Notts, but here again the paternal Eumenides pur sued him, and the votes were, for Lord Henry Ben• tinck, 1,742 ; for Lord Lincoln, 217. In Maya seat was provided for the hapless secretary for the Fab kirk burghs, though here a close opposition came from the Liberal quarter, the Earl only polling 506, to 495 polled by Mr. Wilson of Dundyvan, and similarly in 1847 Mr. William Sprott Boyd (Libe ral) being within 31 of his lordship (522 to 491). Necessarily these contests were more than usually painful to a man like Lord Lincoln, whatever mo mentary triumph their results may have afforded to his nearest relative. Lord Lincoln was not a brilliant speaker, or an orator in any sense of the word. Like his great master, Peel, cold, reserved, and methodical; not impulsive, or impetuous, or fervid, like his dis• tinguished fellow-student, Mr. Gladstone, he never much pleased the House of Commons, and on one memorable occasion was even counted out. His maiden speech was delivered July 29, 1835, against the Polls at Elections Bill. We next find him (Jane 28,1836) speaking against the Dissenters' Marriages Bill. He proposed the postponement of the bill' to that day six months, as by it the Church would bo placed in the position of an inferior. On the Ecclesiastical Bill for abolishing the collegiate character of Southwell Church (1840)—which is precisely what Mr Beresford-Hope and his friends want to re-establish, not only in Southwell but in all larges towns—Lord Lincoln and Mr Gladstone were tellers for an alternative proposal to create four canonries of £l6 asyear for parochial purposes. They received 15 votes, and their opponents 54, but the soundness of their views has been vindicated proposals which h w a i v ch e h th e i e n e k r in ee g ee c t h ly ur p c e hm t f e e n rw b a y rd. the On the 7th of February, 1842, it was Lord Lin coln, then Chief Commissioner of Woods and Forests, who was deputed by the House of Com mans to congratulate Prince Albert on the occasion of the birth of the Prince of Wales. The same noblemanovho heralded the heir's birth, officially, to the Commons, became one of his royal highness's highest officials in his Duchy, acted as his guardian on his foreign tour, and was visited on his death bed by the prince in person. As Chief Commissioner of Woods and Forests, he signalised himself by providing out of the Crown Lands for the neglected clergy of the Forest of Dean, and for the spiritual interests of 11,000 souls dependent for their daily labour on Crown property. Dr. Bowring, Mr. Joseph Hume, and Mr. Thomas Duncombe opposed this " fresh encroachment of the Church ;" but even Mr. Henry Berkeley supported it, and it was carried. In 1843, when ho procured the suspension of the writ for Nottingham on the ground of Mr. Walker's bribery, his father, the duke, vehemently condemned the step. With various services of prat tical utility, the improvements of drainage, the widening of the streets, the establishment of Vic curia- park, the proposal of an embankment between Westminster and Blachfriars, the Earl of Lincoln's domestic career closed in 1846. As Chief Secretary for Ireland he left no mark, and indeed his tempera ment was hardly suited to Irish latitudes, especially considering the perpetual political struggles on the corn laws in which his duty to his chief compelled him to mix at home. Between 1846 and 1852 he gave a qualified support to Liberal principles, so tar as the free trade of Sir It, Peel was affected by them. The duke had been a Lord of the Treacluassryseaiornf. 1834.5, Chief Commi ss i oner o f W oo d s and Forests f ur e r o re m wl r i ae B sl 4 e nn l od t w o f r J teo a n t u r j a y r a y ehei l se B rh 4 y 6 a , n toda and jt u al C y h h of e a f h et Secretary rh statesmanship. In December, 1852, he accepted the post of Colonial and War Secretary (for both then were combined) in Lord is r Aberdeen's wh ieh brought Cabinet. a be u t The his singular state of affairs secession and the disruption of the Ministry is worth a a v e i P o l a a e s r n s d i c e n e n g t of d n p e o s o t i i p r c u e e I foraars f t u e h e l 1 l e i n i h t o a e n n e l e r y e e g o f o f t o h d t e h ase unthinkin g country, Lord Aberdeen's Cabinet contained undoubt edlyMOS p some of the wisest t eriotic, most zealous men in the nation ; but it wanted cohesion, and unluckily it wanted something more, lacking which no talents and no virtues can save a Ministry from ruin—the loyalty of its members one to the other. There seemed t o b e a malignant spirit in it which knew no rest because it was not the guid ing spirit of affairs, The departments broke down under the work, to the details of which Ministers and clerks were alike new. When the Colonial was separated from the War Department, the duke, in choosing the latter, had shown patriotism and ambition, but he could not make or remodel a whole troops was a vast had quantity no great of biscuit vas t disorganised system in face of the daily de mands of the war. Gradually tidings came hom e which hearts.wrunegdiaelileee,but there The c a o n a dh ts e nom and coffee, only the biscuit wa s mouldy coffee green. The opening of the session of 1855 witnessed the beginning of the end. Mr Roe buck gave notice in the House of C ommons of a comm ittee of inquiry into the whole administration of the war. On the day when he was to bring it on Lord John Russell resigned office, The motion came on. Lord Palmerston and all his colleagues man fully stood by the duke. " The Duke of Newcastle," said Mr Henley, always candid and generous, "is the most ill-used ma n in En gland ; his colleagues got him into a fix and then left him." Th e motion was carried, to the astonishment of the House, by 305 to 148. Next day Lord Aberdeen resigned, and in a manly way eulogised the duke, whose explana tion and vindication can hardly yet have been for gotten. What stung hi m in to a noble and touching burst of eloquence was the charge of "indifference and indolence." e My lords," he excl a i me d, " as re gards the charge of indolence, I can only say that the public have had, at all event s , every h our an d every minute of my time. Not one hour of recreaa Lion or of amusement have I presumed to think that I was entitled to take. My lords, the other charge, that of indifference, is still more painful to me. In difference, my lords, to what ? Indifference to the honour of the country, indifference to the success and the safety of our army ! My lords, I have myself, like many who listen to me , t oo d ear hos tages for my interest in the welfare of the military and naval services of the country to allow of such a sentiment. I have two sons engaged in those two services, and that alone, I think, would be sufficient to prevent mo from being indifferent; but, my lords, as a Minister —as a man—l should be unworthy to stand in any assembly if the charge of indifference under such circumrtances could be truly made against me. Many a sleepless night I have passed, my lords, thinking over the evils which the public think, and say, I could have cured, and which, God knows! I would have cured if it had been within my power. Indolence and indiffe rence are not charges that can truly be brought against me. I deny the charges ; and I trust that my countrymen will before long be satisfied, what. ever they may think of my capacity, that there is no ground for fixing this unjust stigma upon me." No fair man could deny the justice as well as the indignant emotion manifest in this vindication, which has long since been justified. As Secretary for the Colonies, from 1859 to 1864, the Duke of Newcastle has held an even balance between the separatists and the unionists. He has insisted on Canada defending itsilt from a supposed invasion ; he has condoned, and then condemned, the Ashante© hot-headed frolic of Sir Benjamin Chilley Pine; he has supported the Hudson River Company's amalgamation into another " Company' (Limited)." Very much to his honour he encouraged and promoted the explorations of Africa and Aus tralia. He was the firm friend of C ►=stain Grant. and (alas ! that it should be written—the late) Captain Speke. With regard to his career in the Upper House, it may be mentioned that he helped greatly forward the Oxford University Reform Bill, of which his colleague Lord Canning took charge. When the famous question of Lord Canning's conduct to the Talookdars of Oude caused such a political commo tion, the Duke of Newcastle warmly defended his old friend, observing that if the censures on Lord Canning had been deserved he would not have stood up for him, but he insisted that the Viceroy's conduct had been firm and decisive. In the same year (1858) he supported the admission of the Jews to Parliament. His policy in regard to church rates was varied within two years, during which he had been associated with Mr. Miall, it is understood, on the Education Committee. In 1858 (July 2) be considered that no man had a right to refuse to pay taxes on religious grounds, and he should vote against the Abolition Bill as "an abstract proposition." In 1860 (June 19), however, he " had come down prepared to vote against the Abolition Bill, but the altered tone of the House of Commons rendered all com promise impossible. He regretted the bill, but must vote for it, which he did, with 31 followers, against 128 opponents. It is proper still to say that the duke was always one of the stanchest of Churchmen. To him is owed a heavy debt of gratitude for his willing and cordial concurrence in the establishment of so many new Colonial sees, and the selection of sound and earnest men to fill them. In his domestic relations few have better proved their Churchmanship than when, on succeeding, a poor man, to an impoverished and encumbered inheritance, he applied himself first of all to the restoration of every church in his gift, the establishment of schools and rectories where none existed before, and the careful regard for the proprieties of the Church offices being observed by the clergy, whom he chose for their merit only to fill the livings in his gift. By these things he much more merited, and in truth obtained, the honour of true Churchmen than by being a careless indiffe.. rentist in practice, but a stickler for trumpery points of ecclesiastical dues in Parliament. The Duke cf Newcastle was selected by her Majesty to travel through her North American dominions with the Prince of Wales in 1860. The royal and distinguished party embarked in the Hero, from Devenport, on the 10th July, arriving at St. John's, Newfoundland, on the 23d of the same month. From Newfoundland to Nova Scotia, from Halifax to Quebec, to Montreal to Ottawa (the new capital chosen by the Queen), at the Falls of Niagara, on a gigantic timber-raft down the St. Lawrence, from Canada to New York, through the Stated now so bitterly at valiance—in each city through which he passed the glowing tale is never varied. All newspaper readers are familiar with the interesting details of the prince's visits to Montreal and naiad x,as well es New York; the enthusiasm he excited in and out of the Queen's territories, and the opinions expressed of the firm and judicious bear ing of his Mentor, the duke—especially in the nott.ble skirmish with some indiscreet Canadian Orangemen who desired to flaunt the emblems of their party i❑ the face of the youthful prince, who could know no party. Of a statesman so honoured and so regretted it almost seems a mockery to give the ancestral honours and personal dignities which he bears no longer; but as a mere record, it may be stated that Henry Pelham Fiennes Pelham-Clinton, K.G., Duke of Newcastle-under. Lyme, in Staffordshire, Earl of Lincoln, and Baron Clinton, Lord Warden of the Stannaries of Cornwall and Devonshire (1862), Lord Lieutenant of Nottinghamshire (1857), Rider and Master Forester of Dartmoor, Lieut.-Colonel of the Sherwood Rangers (1853), High Steward of Retford (1851), Keeper of St. Briavel's Castle, &c., was born in Charlotte-street, Berkeley-square, May 22, 1811, and by his marriage (Nov. 27, 1832) with Lady Susan Harriet Catherine Hamilton Douglas, only daughter of the Duke of Hamilton, has sur viving issue four sons and a daughter. The latter, Lady Susan Charlotte Catherine Pelham-Clinton, married in April, 1860, Lord Adolphus Vane Tem pest, M.P. for South Durham, who died a few months ago. The second son, Lord Ed ward William, born in 1836, is an officer in the Rifle Brigade ; the third and fourth, Lords Arthur and Albert, born respectively in 1840 and 1845, are in the navy. His grace, who became Duke of Newcastle in the sum mer of 1851, is succeeded in his titles and estates by his eldest son, Henry Pelham, Earl of Lincoln, born Jan. 25, 1834, and educated at Eton and Christ Church, Oxford, who married, Feb. 11, 1861, Hen. rietta Adele, daughter of Mr Henry Thomas Hope, of Deepdene, by whom he has issue two daughters and one son and heir, Lord Clinton, born a week or two back. The present Duke eat for Newark from 1857 to 1859 as a Conservative, and unsuccessfully contested the borough of Nottingham as a Liberal against Sir R. J uckes Clifton, on the elevation of Mr John Mellor, Q.C„ to the Judicial Bench. He is a deputy-lieutenant of Nottinghamshire and lieutenant in the Sherwood Rangers. As to the family of the Clintons, it is uncertain whether they trace their descent from " William de Villa Tancredi, Chamberlain of Normandy and Maude, his wife, daughter of William de Arches, descended from Weira, sister of Gunora, Duchess of Normandy," and so were somehow connected with Clinton near Woodstock, or whether they are of purely Anglo• Saxon origin. We hear of a John de Clinton of Amington being summoned to the House of Peers in the 27th year of Edward I.'s reign (1299.) His younger son was created Justice of Chester, Warden of the Cinque Ports, Lord Ad• miral of the Seas from the Thames westward, and Earl of Huntingdon; while his grandson partici• pated in the glorious achievements of the Black Prince. Edward, ninth Lord Clinton, was created Earl of Lincoln in 1572. The fourth earl was heartily in favour of Charles 1. , and was carver at Charles ll.'s coronation. The seventh earl, who was gentleman of the bedchamber to Prince George of Denmark, married the sister of Thomas Duke of Newcastle, and his second son inherited from his uncle the dukedom, the remainder having been granted in November, 1756. But whatever may be the lineage of this great family, there is one thing quite certain, and much more important, that no member of either house—Pelham or Clinton was a more honest and loyal servant of his Sove reign than the duke whose death we record this day. THE HIGHWAY ACT, 1862.—At the Quarter Sessions held for the eouhty of Monmouth, at Usk, on Monday last, Lord Llanover, who had acted as chair man of the Committee of Justices, moved that the provi. sional orders for the adoption of the Act throughout the county, which were made at the previous sessions, ho con firmed. Lord Tredegar seconded the motion, which was supported by Col. Clifford, M.P., Mr Morgan, M.P., and others. Captain Tyler opposed it; and Sir Thee, Phillip s moved, and Mr Williams, of Llanjibby Castle, seconded an amendment that the further consideration of the subject be adjourned to the January sessions. On the question being put from the chair, the original niotien was carried by a large majority. The election of waywardens was then fixed for the 25th March, and the first meeting of the Board will take place PA the 31st March. Naval and Military Intelligence. Tho screw gun vessel Foxhound, 4, 200 horse power, Commander W. H. Anderson, which arrived at the Noro a few days since from the Mediterranean, to be put out of commission, has been inspected by Vice Admiral Sir C. Talbot, K.C.8., Naval Commander in Chief, who mustered the crew and visited the various portions of the ship. The Foxhound has been taken into the great basin, where she is being stripped and dismantled preparatory to being put out of commission on Saturday next, and paid off into the Chatham Steam Reserve. The Achilles, 30, 1,250 horse power, Capt. E. W, Vansit tart, ironelal frigate, has been inspected at the Nore by the Vice Admiral Commanding in Chief, aud, having had her compasses adjusted and in all respects been made ready for sea, will take her departure from the Medway this morning for Plymouth, there to be docked for the purpose of having the marine deposits on her bottom removed, and her valves overhauled and examined, after which she will take a short cruise, probt.bly with the Channel squadron. She leaves Chatham under-manned, and considerably short of her complement t,f blue-jackets, but it is probable she will pick up the remainder of her crew at Devonport, although the old difficulty of manning the vessels fitting and to be fitted for sea is just now causing considerable anxiety at the Admiralty, from the apparent scarcity of A. B.'s and ordi nary seamen, and the eagerness with which they are enter ing the American navy, The Achilles was inspected yester day by the officials connected with the master-shipbuilder's department at Chatham Dockyard, and Mr A. Moore, prin cipal assistant master-shipwright, Mr Baker, chief engineer, Mr Penny, foreman, under whom the Achilles was built, together with a number of shipwrights, will proceed round in the iron frigate from Chatham to Davenport, in case any thing should transpire requiring their attention on board.. On the occasion of the Achilles making her recent run from Chatham to the Nore and back to her moorings in the Med way, her machinery worked with remarkable ease and steadi ness, the six after-boilers used generating an abundance of steam, After her preliminary run the frigate turned round and steamed up to her moorings in the river, taking them up with as little difficulty as a yacht. So easy was the work ing of the engines and machinery that the fact of the vessel being under way was scarcely perceptible to either officers or men. The Achilles hae received her powder and cartridges from the magazines at Upnor for her 110-pounder and other rifled guns, the ammunition for her 100 pounder smoothbore guns being supplied from the Woolwich arsenal, none of the latter description of cartridges being at present kept in store at Chatham, The screw corvette Cadmus, 21, 400-horse power, un shipped her Griffith's screw propeller yesterday in Chatham harbour, the recent experimental trials with that vessel proving the working of the screw to have been exceedingly unsatisfactory. A new screw is to be placed on board, and, as it is thought that the sternposts of the corvette may have experienced some injury during the late alterations to the propeller, it is probable she sill be docked to enable an examination of the vessel to be made. Her Majesty's paddlewheel despatch vessel Salamis, Commander F. G. Suttie, went alongside the wharf at Woolwich yesterday, and unshipped the baggage of his Royal Highness the Prince Victor Albert and suite, who landed at Hull on the preceding day. Commander Suttie proceeded to the Admiralty to receive his instructions, and the salamis in the meantime went alongside the Mercury coal depot to fill in her bunkers, as it was expected she would be ordered to return immediately to Copenhagen. At a naval court-martial assembled yesterday on board her Majesty's ship Victory at Portsmouth, for the trial of Thomas J. Turner, ordinary seaman, of her Majesty's ship Vesuvius, on two serious charges of assault, dm, the Court found the charges proved, and sentenced the prisoner to three years' penal servitude. After the conclusion of the military display on Southsea Common by the troops in Portsmouth Garrison on Monday, the Duke of Cambridge, accompanied :by Major-Gen. Lord W. Paulet, C. 8., Sir R. Airey, Col. Clifton, and a nume rous staff, rode out along ,the line of sea beach, between Southsea Castle, the southern entrance to Portsmouth.llar hour, Channel entrance from Spithead, and the sea to the glacis of Fort Cumberland, which commands the entrance over dangerous shoals and through tortuous and narrow channels to Langston harbour. Ho inspected cut Eerily as he passed along the new forts at Lumps now occupied by the Royal Artillery, and the still more recently erected fort at Eastney which stands on the line of shore in front of the barracks now in course of erection for the accommo dation of the Royal Marine Artillery. The length of the line of beach between Southsea Castle aud Fort Gutnber land is about 4,500 yards, and on this intermediate space at about equal distances from each other, stand the Forts of Lumps and Eastney. The former is a well-builtearthwork, with means, at present, of mounting nothing heavier than 65 or 100 pounder guns, but which moy be strengthened, if required, to carry much heavier ordnance. The work nt Eastney has been most expensive. So far as its offensive powers exist they are comprised in a couple of bastions, on the same principle as Lumps Fort, but separated by a long curtain, so that the entire work extends the length of the new marine barracks building, some 200 yards in its rear. The lavish expenditure, however, referred to has been be stowed upon the construction of a singularly expensive and curious wall, built up in the dry ditch in front of the work, and which in the opinion of the majority of military mon is remarkable only for its complication in detail and its use lessness. The consideration of the junction of the waters of Chichester, Langston, and Portsmouth—a series of inland sea waters some 20 miles in length, parallel with the waters of the Channel—could not have been undertaken in any spot more favourable for the purpose than that where the Duke and his staff drew up, at the end of their ride from Southsea, on the glacis of Fort 'Cumberland. On the return of the Duke to Portsmouth he alighted at the Government house, where, with his staff, he remains the guest of Major Gen. Lord W. Paulet during his stay in the garrison. Yesterday morning the Duke recommenced his inspection accompanied by Major Gon. Lord W, Paulet, Sir R. Airey and Staff, with a visit to the Royal Sovereign turret ship , Capt. S. Osborne, C. 8., lying alongside the railway jetty of the yard. A considerable time was spent on board, and every part of the ship on deck and below, with the turrets, guns, and fittings, was examined minutely, and in the work ing of the turrets especially considerable interest was mani fested. From the Royal Sovereign the Duke proceeded to the Anglesea Barracks, Portsea, occupied by the 21st Regi ment, which was drawn up on the parade ground for inspec tion. From the quarters of the 21st the Duke left the gar rison for Hilsea, where ho visited and inspected in their bar racks, stables, and on parade tho two batteries of field artil lery at present stationed there. He afterwards proceeded to Portsdown and inspected there, necessarily in a cursory manner, the stupendous forts now constructing along the ridge of the Down; the central and western ones—Widley, Southwick, Nelson, and Wallington, are rapidly approach ing completion, but those at the eastern end of the Down— Purbrook, Crookhorn, and Farlington have not yet made any progress beyond their excavations and the rough for mation of their glade. Admiration cannot but be freely accorded to the comprehensiveness of the designs of these works, either as taken singly or as parts of one general plan. There is much to condemn in the want of judgment shown in the execution of some portions of the work in more than one of the forts. For instance, at Southwick the main magazine (some 50ft below the surface of the parade ground) collapsed from too early a removal of the supports, and the ground had to be excavated, and the magazine recon structed, at great cost, and at Widley some portions of the brickwork and the composite wall of the escarp have been carried out without any regard to the nature of thy work It would have to perform. The wall of the escarp is being re built after having fallen into the ditch of the fort, and brickwork panels in the casemates. at the termination of the rampart, on either side of the gorge, aro now shored up by timber supports, to prevent their giving way under the pressure of the new made ramps of the earth at their baok . From Portsdown-hill the Duke completed the circuit Of Portsmouth harbour shoreline by passing through the village of Fareham and returning to Portsmouth by Gos port, calling in and inspecting on his way the advanced forts in fsont of Gosport at Brockhurst, Rowner, and Grange. About sunset, on his return to Portsmouth, he embarked on board her Majesty's steamer Sprightly, Commander G. Allen, and paid a short visit to the works on the Horse and Noman shoals for the foundations of the intended marine forts for the protection of Spithead. He also visit e d th e site of the proposed forts on t he Spit Bank and the Hyde Sand; where borings are being made to ascertain the suit ability of the underlying strata for the work. Tho site selected on the Spit by the last commission has been abandoned after examination by boring, it having been found that nothing but silted up matter could be obtained at a very considerable depth from the surface. A fresh site having boon selected about 500 yards further in shore, the nature of the ground at no great distance from the surface M the shoal has been found admirably adapted to support a large work, and it is most probable that on this spot will be erected the third of the Spithead forts. The appointment of principal of the surveying and topo graphical departments at the Royal Engineer establishment, Chatham, vacant by the appointment of Lieut.-CA. H. Y. D. Scott to the charge of the South Kensington Museum, has been conferred on Lieut.-Col. A. A. Fisher, C. 8,, Royal Engineers, who has commenced the duties of the depart ment. Lieut.-Col. Fisher has seen considerable active ern• ployment, having served during the Crimean campaign and also in Chita from 1857 to the close of the war. lie come mended the Royal Engineers in the expedition to China in 1859, and was appointed ono of the allied commissioners for 1 the government of Canton. He subsequently served with the force under Sir Hope Grant In the campaign of 1860. Capt. R. Harrison has been appointed adjutant to the Royal Engineer establishment, Chatham, in succession to Capt. C. E. Harvey, promoted and removed. Prior to his appointment Capt. garrison was attached to the staff of years. 6 ~,,, i. 4 ::.-f rifg :-.7. ,215 , 4 5 , - .

The difficulty of obtaining good seamen for tholeet islao w''' severely felt at Woolwich. It is stated that upwards of 1,000 continuous service men who entered at the commencement of the Russian war from the merchant navy have refused to renew their engagements, and that many whose term of 10 years has nearly expired have requested their discharge, on being paid off, The grievance complained of appears to be the new regulations issued by the First Lord, and deno— minated "the Somerset discipline." The stoppages of grog and pay, and the retention, :after the term of punishment, of defaulter's names on the black list are much objected to. A notification has been posted at Woolwich for some weeks past requiring men for the 107 gun ship Victoria, but with small success. The flagship Fisgard, formerly crowded to inconvenience, has now but few men berthed there, ISII;WS I °W. VA . - 1, MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Oct 18. (Before the Assistant-Judge.) John Jones, 26, and William Shearman, 18, were in dicted Jfor attempting to steal a watch from the person of a man whose name is unknown. Junes was farther indicted for stealing two cloth capes, of the value of 2s. 61, the property of William Gledden. Jane Gledden, of No. I,Crown-street, Soho, said she was the wife of William Gledden, a shoemaker, and on Satur day, the 24th of September, the prisoner Shearman entered their shop and offered two cloth capes for sale for 6s. Sho bought them, giving him 2s. Gd. for them, and then he went away. The moment he got out at the door, the other pri soner, Jones, entered the shop, and said she had bought two capes of a young man, and he wanted to know where they were. She produced them, upon which he said, " I shall take you into custody for buying these capes with a guilty knowledge. I have been a month watching your place; now I've got you to rights, and I am only waiting for another officer to search your place." He then walked round the counter, put his hand into his pocket, and pulled out a pair of handcuffs, which he held in his hand, and walked up and down the shop, and told her that she must prepare herself to go to the station-house with him. She asked him where the young man was whom she had bought the capes of, and he said that he was gone with another officer to the station-house and could not come back. II then told her that she must at once put her things on and go with him to the station-house, She said she would go with him, although she had done nothing wrong, for although they were poor they were honest people. He still marched about the place with the handcuffs in his hand, when he said, " If you give up the capes make it all right for you'at the station." She asked him how he could do that without her going to the station house, and he replied, " Oh, I can always make up a story about it that would do very well." Having put back the handcuffs in his pocket, he said after all that she must go to the station. She was about to go when he said, "Never mind, I can make it all right." She asked him if he would come back in the afternoon and let her know how the matter went on, and he promised to do so f but he never came back. Jones took the capes from the counter and walked away with them. She did not see the prisoner Jones again until the following Saturday, when she recognised him in custody at Bow-street as the man who took the capes away. William Ackrell, police-sergeant 15 F, said he was on duty in plain clothes abut seven o'clock on Saturday even ing, October 1, when he saw the prisoners and another man. Knowing them he followed them as far as Exeter hall, where there was an alarm of fire, and a great many persons were assembled. He saw them pushing back wards and forwards on the pavement in the crowd. Sher man was in front, and the other prisoner was "covering" (hiding) him. Ho saw him feeling the dresses of different females with his left hand, They went and stood in front of a gentleman who was wearing a gold watch, and ho saw Sherman take the gentleman's watch from his pocket, but before he had time to separate it from the chain the gentleman pulled his coat together, buttoned it up, and left the watch hanging by tho guard. The prisoners then crossed the :road and he followed them, and with assistance took them into custody. He (witness) strug gled with Jones, and while doing so he saw him take a pair of handcuffs from his pocket, Which he threw from him amongst the crowd. Mrs Gledden saw the prisoners at the station-house, and picked them out from several other persons as those by whom she had been successively visited about the two capes, Shearman as having sold them, and Jones as the man who called, showed her the handcuffs, and took the capes away. George Finnis, police-constable 45 B, said he had known the prisoner Jones for many years, and he was convicted in 1861 in this court, and sentenced to 12 months' imprison ment. He was a soldier in the Guards, but was discharged on account of his bad character. The Assistant Judge sentenced Jones to be kept in penal servitude for 7 years, and Shearman for 5 years. As soon as the sentence was pronounced Jones bawled out " Y.at -, when I come out again l'll shoot you I" and the other prisoner launched out into a volume of abuse to the learned judge, and it was with some show of resis tance they were taken to the cells below. John Sewell, 18, and John Seliwood, 20, were indicted for stealing a silver watch, six silver teaspoons, a pair of siver sugar tongs, six cut bottles, brooches, table-cloths, table covers, and an iromense quan'ity of wearing apparel, the property of Henry Bradden. TLere were four other indictments of a similar description, and (he enumeration of the articles stolen eccupi,d the court a considerable time in reading them. In the case of Mr Bradden, it appeared that he was a gar dener, living at Colney Hatch, and on Monday, the 19th of Septtmber, he went from home, locked up the house, and left everything safe. Oa his return home about 3 o'clock in the afternoon he found the doors and windows broken open and some slates taken off the roof. A man named Jones saw a costermonger's barrow with a pony standing in Colney Hatch-road, and Selwood was sitting in it. Sewell put a sack to a man who was inside a fence, and shortly after this the man came back dragging a sack which was then quite full. As soon as he saw the witness Jones he dropped the sack, jumped over tho fence, got into the barrow, and made his escape. Sewell and Sellwood were also seen at the place by other witnesses. The prisoners were subsequently taken into custody on another charge, and on the person of Sewell, on his being searched at the Tottenham station, a silver thimble was found, which was identified by Mr Bradden as one of the articles stolen from the premises. The practice of the prisoners was, it appeared, to go round Hornsey, Colney Hatch, and its neighbourhood, with a bar— row and pony, under pretence of selling greengrocery, and thus get access to premises to sell their articles. When they saw a favourable opportunity they plundered the houses of anything they could lay their hands upon and drove away with it. _ _ _ The jury found the prisoners guilty, and the other dietments were not gone into. The Assistant Judge said these were daring robberies', and it became his duty to send the prisoners away. Ho then sentenced them to ba kept in penal servitude for five (Before Mr Payne.) John Caldon, 20, a labourer, was placed at the bar charged with stealing a sou'wester, the property of George Smith Barnard, to which he pleaded not guilty. Police-constable 498 K, said—On Saturday morning, lst inst., I saw the prisoner in St. George's-street, St. George's, and noticing that he looked very bulky, I watched him and saw him take the sou'wester from his breast and put it oa his head. I took him into custody. He said he bought it of a shoeblack. George Barnard, 111, St. George's-street, St. George's, identified the sou'wester as his property. It was not sold to anyone. _ _ The prisoner in his defence said he was going along the street when he bought the sou'wester of a shoeblack. The jury found him guilty. William Aokrill, a very active servant of the F division, proved several convictions against the prisoner, who he said was a very old thief. M. P.p., NUM be Celt Aispused to sentence the prisoner to imprisonment. The prisoner—Oh, give me penal servitude, my lord—l shall never do any good if you don't. _ Mr Payne—Theoffenceis bat a slight ono, and I don't think it justifies seven years' ponal servitude. The sen tence is two years' bard labour, The prisoner—Do, pray, give me five years. Yeu had better put on the other three. (Laughter.) Mr Payne did not feel so disposed, and the prisoner was removed, MR GLADSTONE AND THE PEIOTOORAPHER.—A, project, suggested by Mr M'Lachlan, for the formation of t photographic gallery or museum in which negatives should be preserved of the portraits of great men, has been before thepublic on several occasions, and has been mentioned itt the Manchester City Council more t han once.

Upon arrival with Mrs Glad s t one a t the Victoria Station in the morning he was received by th e mayor this and the Town Clerk, and they were immediately driven in. the Mayor's carriage to Mr M'Lachlan's gallery, Stamp office-buildings. Mr Gladstone was soon placed in a position to admit of a characteristic portrait being taken, but Mr M'Lachlan experienced a difficulty in determining upon, what object to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer to fi his attention. In the emergency he put his hand into hid waistcoat pocket, drew out a sovereign, balanced it adroitly on the back of a chair, and asked Mr Gladstone to look intently at the coin. The object was defeated by the spon taneous laughter that the act produced. Mr Gladstone remarked that Mr M'Lachlan had selected the best possible thing for him to look at--it was quite a bait. Mrs Glad stone said Mr M'Lachlan had shown that ho possessed a deep knowledge of human nature. After the mirth, is which all present joined, had subsided, two or threo suc cessful negative portraits of Mr Gladstone were taken,—. Manchester Guardian.

The Duke of Newcastle, K.G, The chequered life of the Duke of Newcastle was brought to a premature, but not unexpected, close yesterday evening, at 47 minutes pie. six, at Clime , ber. His grace had been suffering for a lengthened period from the same incurable disease which killed poor LDrd Herbert, his old Oxford friend and poli tical colleague, at whose touching funeral at Wilton a few years back, the duke might have been seen a most deeply-grieved mourner. Like Lord Herbert, the duke had resigned his office in the Ministry; but if he did not actually die in harness, he died— as Lord Herbert, too, died—from the effects of overwork in the public service—unspared labour— ceaseless anxiety—insensibility to fatigue or sick ness—work to which both clung with a fatal tena■ city, and with a too conscientious and sensitive de votion, long after exhausted nature and the entreaties of their dearest friends bade them rest. The Duke of Newcastle was not a great states- but he was emphatically an honest one, He entered public life from motives of self-aggrann disement, but from the considerations of a noble ambition with which the career of Peel had fired so many of his young Oxford contemporaries. His motive was the good of his country; his stronghold was a firm religious belief. The latter he opposed unflinchingly to the doctrines of expediency and vacillation—political hedging, in fact—so prevalent in more accommodating quarters ; the former he pursued unswervingly, through difficulties and obloquy which might have appalled a less con • scientious man. He sacrificed the comforts of domestic life; he sacrificed his seat in Parliament; he sacrificed his popularity whenever and wherever he considered that the claims of his country were paramount to personal feelings. Happy it was fur the duke that he lived to see a varied political career closed amid general honour and esteem ; happy that, after a brief period of undeserved ostracism, he returned to public life, and that having passed a loyal and honoured career in still greater services to his country and his Sovereign, he has not now been comrn pelled to let his fame be posthumously re-established in the sense of Horace's old but true apophthegm— " Virtutem incolumem odimus, Sublatam ex oculis quaarimus invidi." In good truth the sound sense and the good feelings of Englishmen generally prevail over a momentary panic of passion, and it is plain to calm thinkers that the duke had been somewhat hardly dealt with in being made a Jonah for the neglect of the entire Mi nistry in the Crimean war. He has served her Majesty again with the highest distinction,and in the highest posts of dignity; he was selected by her to accompany the heir to the Throne to her Canadian possessions ; and on his death-bed her Majesty twice came from her long retirement and paid a visit of kindness to her noble subject. The Prince of Wales came also to see the duke the day after the Queen's first visit, and it need hardly be said that the grief of his royal highness for his grace's death will be no tran sitory or commonplace emotion. He was permitted, just before his death, to see his infant grandson, the future heir of his illustrious house; his tenants, who painfully watched their lord as he was slowly borne to his ancestral halls a dying man, made their obeisances in silence more touching than words, and the same tenants united in cordial congratulations on the birth of the heir which his grace was unable to receive, and to which he was obliged to depute his younger son to respond. This was the last time his, grace's name appeared before the public, and so his eyes may be said to have closed in domestic peace, alike with the respect of his countrymen and the regard of his Sovereign. Born in the good old 'Tory days (1811), the son of a Tory of the Tories, it was the assumed busi ness and interest of a Pelham-Clinton to keep up the policy of a very curious father in a world whi c h was moving nn, Like all his family he was educated at Eton, where the brightest lustre is shed on his father's fame in the present generation, by his munificence in founding, 35 years ago, the classical scholarship which was named after him, and will be gratefully remembered when his political weak nesses are forgotten.
